And so do I, but I've found that in the many "What MPG do do you get" threads a lot of people get around there. Also these numbers are not "the best MPG you can get if you really baby it". This is more the MPG you get typically, day to day, when you are not thinking about your gas mileage.

They have now come out with the new system to calculate the new MPG ratings for 2008+ cars. The cool thing is they also recalculated the MPG ratings for older cars based on the new metrics. The even have the supra in there. http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/calculatorSelectYear.jsp Manual (5 sp)...

That was pretty sweet. You can tell that RX7 wasn't even pushing it. It was sitting back behind that Honda relaxing. Some one left a comment that the Honda sounded better than the RX7, I'm not sure where that came from. I thought the RX7 sounded beautiful and the Honda just sounded annoying.

Those are the pictures of when I first got the car, so you would have to ask the original owner. The hood scoop is functional but I plan to go back to a stock hood when I get her painted. The extra fog lights will also be going away sometime in the future as well. You should have seen the car...

Because all of our soldiers are just so perfect.:rolleyes: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/4296511.stm

I do. And yes I do also know that the saw blades are on backwards. They are since fixed and one day I may get better pictures of them.

Simple but effective.

Eye is a palindrome, a word that is the same when read backward as well as forward. Seems to apply to the last two lines Eyes can defiantly be those colors as well. Grey/white on the outside blue in the middle, and black in the center. Eyes, eye works there too.

I didn't know it until you said something.

As jdub stated, the knock is 1:1 with rpms, this indicates that it is in the crank. If it were in the cams the knock would increase at 1/2 the rate of the rpms. Also it has been my experience that shim noise is a less hollow sound.

I have always understood this as well. However, on my car if I ran it, it would pull timing, and it would do so until I replaced the bearings. After that everything was fine. So I naturally believed that the knock fell somewhere within that range. I suppose it could have just been a coincidence...

If I'm wrong about the ecu then please correct me. I'm not here to put misinformation out there, but my experience has shown me this is true about the timing. I know you have a very good understanding of the ecu. So please put the correct info out there if it is wrong.

Hopes and dreams will only get you so far. I'm not trying to be a dick but these are the facts. 1. As much as you, I, and every other Supra owner might wish it, that is unmistakably the traits and sounds of 7M rod knock. Enough of us have gotten it to know. 2. When the ECU detects knock, it...

A 100% stock engine will still pull timing. That is the job of the ECU. If it detects knock/detonation it will continue to pull timing until it eliminates it. At least to the limits of its ability. My car was more stock than your when I developed rod knock, and there was a considerably...

Bingo. Code 52 only indicates a problem with the circuit (wiring, sensors, ect.). A detected knock will not cause the ECU to throw a code, it will only adjust the engine parameters (fuel, timing) as much as it can in order to prevent the knock/detonation, but it will not throw a code. If your...

Even though it is not a very good image, this is my chrome stockers. They came from the factory chrome with maroon accents.

That is what I guessed

The worst part about that statement is the fact that you have never experienced the true power of your car if its been doing that since you got it. The ECU pulls a considerable amount of timing when it detects knock on that level.

This is a name, and if I'm not mistaken irregardless of meaning, is spelled Pearl HARBOR. So american english or orignal english is irrelivent, this is the way the name is spelled.

This is good because I never really I cared how you felt, I was merely making a statement. As for this, be careful, life has a funny was of collecting on bets like this. We don't need another Supra crushed or brethren lost due to poor judgments. One day you may find yourself in a situation...
